Weekend Open Thread

It’s the weekend, y’all! And what a week I had. I went from celebrating my daughter’s birthday to running a half marathon with my BFF to enjoying a Lady Gaga concert to OH DEAR LORD MY HEAD HURTS LIKE HELL OH HAI THE LEFT SIDE OF MY FACE DOESN’T WORK AM I HAVING A STROKE?!

Turns out it’s Bell’s Palsy, which isn’t a big deal in the grand scheme of things. But allow me to whine just a bit, won’t you? I am a control freak by nature. Not being able to control something as basic as MY FACE? Is a tad upsetting.

Also, I am having a hard time eating and drinking. That’s just cruel, amirite?

Last week was our 15th wedding anniversary. The phone rang early on Thursday morning, as DH was dressing DS for the day. I answered at the same time DH did, and a woman’s voice said, “Hi, I’m calling from The Flowery, I have your flowers but can’t find…” At that point DH cut in and said, “Hon, hang up the phone!”

I hung up, thrilled and surprised that flowers were on the way! But I felt bad for DH, who sounded way annoyed by the phone call.

A minute later DS (who is not quite 3 years old) comes into my bedroom, his little brow furrowed with concern.

“Mami, the phone!” he says.

“What about the phone?” I reply.

“The f*cking lady! She ruined our surprise!”

Yeah, that was seriously the best laugh I have had in months. But I did reiterate to DH: no more cursing in front of the kids! LOL.

In any case, the flowers were beautiful: 15 roses for 15 years, plus my favorite stargazer lilies. Current health issues aside, this has been a hell of a great 10 days!
